To meet the
increasing demands of edible oil in India, Oil Palm which produces 6 to
8 tonnes of edible oil per hectare per year, will help more than any
other oilseed crop which have productivity levels below 1 ton/ha. It can
easily bridge the gap between demand and supply. Indian Institute of
Oil Palm Research has been contributing by understanding the constraints
affecting the production of oil palm in India and finding out solutions
through intrinsic research initiatives. With time and
concentrated efforts, the institute has emerged as the nerve center of
oil palm research.
